Rewards Proposal in ETH PoS Plan Aligns with THORChain's Design
THORChain's unique design principles, including a capped number of validators, slot-based rewards, separate bond provision role, and freedom for node operators to set fees, are being acknowledged in V's updated ETH PoS proposal. This validation is significant for THORChain, which has had these design considerations for the past four years. The proposal recognizes that more validators do not necessarily translate to more decentralization. It also addresses the issue of one large player achieving economies of scale and capturing the network. THORChain's network design, built from first principles, is now being observed in other projects like Maya Protocol and Chainflip.
Did anyone else catch that V's updated ETH PoS proposal reverts to principles that are already live in THORChain today? TC has had these design considerations from the start, 4 years ago. Massive validation for THORChain's unique design. Let's go thru them.
A PoS simplification proposal: make a design that only requires 8192 signatures per slot (even with SSF), making the consensus implementation considerably simpler and lighter. ethresear.ch/t/sticking-to-…
